Who doesn’t love an easy crochet shawl pattern that looks harder than it is to make? This beautiful gold lace crochet wrap is the perfect accessory for any occasion. Made with a mix of simple stitches in a fun pattern, it is sure to turn heads. Choose a bold color of yarn, and receive compliments and questions. The Stepping Out Crochet Wrap is versatile and can be worn in a variety of ways, making it a great choice for any season.
Crochet Wrap vs. Crochet Shawl
Do you use crochet wrap and crochet shawl interchangeably? I don’t think there is a consistent vote in the fiber community, but I use them as separate terms. This crochet pattern is a wrap because of its rectangle shape. Typically, I use the term crochet shawl for triangle and crescent shapes. A rectangle shape was chosen for the Stepping Out Wrap to allow the stitch pattern to shine. The gold yarn also helps its shine, but no matter the color, this combination of crochet stitches create eye-catching shapes when laid flat compared to being worn. Also, I didn’t want to figure the math this the stitch multiple to make any other shape. LOL
Styling the Stepping Out Crochet Wrap
As stated above, this crochet wrap is a rectangle and its moderate size that could be mistaken for a crochet blanket wrap. At almost 70″ / 174 cm wide by 24″ / 61 cm long, this can be worn several ways! There are optional ties that can be made to assist in wearing this wrap in different styles.
So far I have come up with seven ways to wear the wrap and using only one tie for some options. If you come up with another option, please share a picture or video on social media and tag @creationsbycourtneyllc. I love sharing the amazing crochet work of the CBC community!
I think a crochet wrap is a handmade closet staple, as it can be worn with anything. Cookie, the mannequin, is wearing a denim jumpsuit with the wrap, whereas I wore it with a shirt and jeans. If you’re dressed up for dinner or a summer wedding, grab the Stepping Out Crochet Wrap to add a touch sass and coverage for the shoulders.
If you are looking for a beautiful and versatile crochet wrap, the gold lace crochet wrap is the perfect choice for you.
Yarn
In preparing for the first ever Cochet Fashion Week, I dove in my yarn stash to rediscover some sport weight gold yarn I purchased by the pound at my first ever CGOA (Crochet Guild of America) Chainlink conference. I won’t incriminate myself on how long ago that was….. Sadly, I didn’t have the label anymore, so I couldn’t use it alone. I started the adventure to find a gold yarn that would match and not clash. Finding gold yarn feels similar to finding actual gold.
Fortunately, I found the perfect shade of gold in Yarn Bee Yarntopia. It’s a 100% acrylic, sport weight, #2 yarn that has a subtle sheen to it and super soft. The thinner weight creates AMAZING drape. It comes in a generous skein of 312 yds / 285 m per 4 oz / 113.5 g for $3.99-4.49 at the time of this writing.
These two yarns held together create a DK weight strand that drapes well and keeps its structure, as my mystery yarn has cotton or some fiber that doesn’t stretch much.
You do not have to hold the yarn double to make this wrap, but if you have size 3 crochet thread that matches your yarn of choice, definitely give it a try.

NOTES
- Pattern is written in US terms.
- Read entire pattern before beginning.
- Make a gauge swatch to ensure there is enough yarn to meet the final measurements. The swatch is used as well to become familiar with the stitch pattern.
- Pattern is worked in 2 parts: Wrap and Edging.
- “Width” of size refers to width measured from side to side/arm span. “Length” in size refers to the total row height.
- CSDC can be replaced with ch 3, but will likely create a noticeable gap.
- This pattern has a 6 row repeat. The length can be adjusted by creating fewer or more row repeats. After any adjustments to row count, end on the final row of repeat.
- Yarn amounts listed do not include any additional rows.
- A stitch symbol chart is included in the ad-free PDF.
